UVR Lab. was formed
in Feb. 2001 at GIST to study and develop “Virtual Reality in Smart
computing environments” that process multimodal input, perceive
user’s intention and emotion, and respond to user’s request through
Augmented Reality. Since 2012, UVR Lab moved to KAIST GSCT and restarted
with a theme of “FUN in Ubiquitous VR.”

Khronos Group is industry consortium for developing open standards including OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Vulkan, OpenCL, OpenXR and etc. Standards of Khronos group play key role in ICT industry. Currently released new standard APIs – Vulkan, OpenXR, NNET - are standards for emerging technologies including AR, VR, deep learning and autonomous vehicle. In this talk, we will review next generation media APIs and get insights of technical evolution in near future.
